also cats love Marzamemi....

Marzamemi ha un fascino davvero particolare

in ogni stagione...

ma in autunno quando tutto intorno è più tranquillo

i suoi colori ,il suo profumo di mare ti inebriano ancor più

Marzamemi has a special charme

at every season

but in autumn when everything semms to be quieter

its colours, its flavours

its sea

are overwhelming

La piazzetta dei pescatori è quasi vuota..

ma con un pò di fantasia

sembra riecheggiare di voci, canti e riti ormai lontani

The old fishermen little square

is almost empty

but it resembles to echo

voices, songs and rites already gone

La Cialoma oggi non è più il canto popolare

che accompagnava il ritmo ora lento ora estenuante

del lavoro dei tonnaroti..

Oggi è il nome di un famoso ristorante:

piccolo ma dai grandi sapori mediterranei

The Cialoma today is not anymore

the old fishermen song

once accompanying their rythm

somehow slow

somehow exausting

It is a famous restaurant :

tiny but with big

Mediterranean flavours

e qui anche i gatti qui adorono la cucina della signora Campisi

e con pazienza aspettano....

and here also the cats love the cuisine of Mrs Campisi

and patiently wait and wait

outside the door

The caponata of the Inspector Montalbano... simply sciavurusa!

Yesterday I was at the street market in my Ortigia and I ate a wonderful caponata When it was served at my table that marvellous vision reminded me the description given by Andea Camilleri in one of the episodes of his popular Inspector: " The moment he opened the refrigerator, he saw it. Caponata! Fragrant, colourful, abundant, it filled an entire soup dish, enough for at least four people. It had been months since Adelina, his housekeeper, last made it for him. The bread, in its plastic bag, was fresh, bought this morning. The notes of the triumphal march of Aida came spontaneously, naturally, to his lips. Humming, he opened the French windows after turning the light one the veranda. Yes, it was a cool night, but still warm enough to eat outside. He set the little table, brought the dish, the wine, and the bread outside, and sat down " (Excursion to Tindari, Andrea Camilleri) There were three Dutch tourists reading carefully the menu close to me
